Do you believe there are dimensions completely different than ours? Are there realities outside of ours? Is there a place somewhere where gingerbread men run around or nonfinite beings speak through telepathy? Are you an Alzheimer's patient fighting a nurse right now thinking she's your wife and it is still 1976? Are you sure I am a real person? Is there a reality where your desires manifest in front of you? Is this real? Can your consciousness remanifest itself at some future point giving birth to "you" again? Is orange really orange or could it really be turquoise? What is in my pocket? I know you want to know... spay and nuter your pets.

We know there is at least one universe, I find it hard to believe this is the only one.

Do you believe this could all simply be a sophisticated simulation in which our science doesn't mean jack in the reality that we were created in? I ask because we consist of almost entirely empty space derived from atoms, which are almost completely empty space. We see an image because it is all compacted so closely that we visualize something as if it were "finite"(a meaningless word in reality). Pixalization works in a similar fashion.

Possible but until justified other wise I would say no. It requires more assumptions to propose a "virtual/simulation" of reality than a reality absent the added simulation processes.

We are definitely living in a simulation but most of the characters in it don't believe they're not real people or beasts.

It looks to be so. : :

The creator of the simulation was the one who taught me about it.

People always ask,"Well, how did Jesus do such and such?" I shake my head and think,"Is that as far as your mind can think? Stretch man! This isn't that hard. Is it? Surely no."

Jesus couldn't do anything unless it was thoroughly planned by his Father, the Creator of the simulation we're involved in. Where do you think all our thoughts come from? Here's a hint;

If they were, I think they shouldn't be called 'dimensions'. That's an SF term and doesn't really accord with any scientific notion of a dimension.

But I don't see it matters whether you believe it, unless the belief itself were actionable. Why make a truth-value choice on a proposition that can't be constructively defined, when the choice wouldn't affect any other decision anyway?

Finally, when people who believe in invisible supervisors ask me whether I'd be willing to believe in something else ridiculous instead, it always makes me wonder why they compare their faith to something they know is ridiculous. :)
